Whenever they hosed her chambers would smell like hasperat soaked in yamok sauce.

Now you know why all Bajorans have wrinkled noses.

If this crossover ever happened Voyager might have been a bit more memorable. Lucy lawless should have at least shown up once.

Pretty much the only instance of clever writing, and not "technobabble" was when her Kazon ships were harrassing Voyager, and kept attacking this one subsystem of the ship. Janeway and the crew are stumped why she is doing that, as it's not slowing them down, or damaging their weapons. Then when they get captured it turns out that one of the things that subsystem did was control the auto destruct.

In the end the day was saved when the two most interesting characters on the show (the Psycho-Killer and the doctor) retake the ship.

Early on in TNG it was explained that the replicator does a fine job making real alcohol if you just ask, back when they unthawed those 20th century people. They seemed to have changed that by the time they found Scotty on that Dyson sphere, because he had to steal Guinan's ecto cooler.

this is me posting irl
the idea behind synthehol was supposed to be that it tastes just like the real thing, doesn't give you a hangover, even gets you buzzed as gently caress if you want, but you can just "shake it off" and sober up at will if you need to (like if there's a red alert or if you want to be able to give sober and informed consent or w/e). either gene roddenberry or david gerrold even thought that it had been invented by the Ferengi - the idea being that it lets you have both the social lubricant of intoxication, and the sobriety for not getting hosed over in a business negotiation.


but then some dipshit writers got in and decided that it would be cooler to cast it as this knockoff bud-lite thing that nobody prefers to "the real thing". it's the same kind of ~*artisanally handcrafted*~ bullshit sentiment we rightfully mock today, but in the space-future.

They also made it seem like it tasted nothing like the real thing, at least to regular drinkers. They should have made it like those low alcohol beers you used to be able to buy when you were 18, in that you didn't get very drunk but you couldn't really tell the difference unless you were completely dependent on alcohol.

Did Voyager have the same policy that TNG had of accepting scripts from anyone? It always seemed to me that in TNG amateur writers would occasionally take ideas from earlier episodes and change them, then other writers would change them a bit more, and it would snowball into things like synthehol changing so much.

Voyager was full of ideas that were different from what we'd already seen (like the single episode that claimed it was impossible to steer at warp), so I was wondering if that could be blamed on amateur writers not really understanding what they were doing.

I think the original series had the most interesting single episode ideas probsbly because they weren't locked into all the history and rules the later shows had. Giant planet eating machine? Giant cube all ran by a little boy? Meet an ancient roman God in the flesh? gently caress it lets do them all.

Roddenberry did have a "rule book" that was enforced until some time in TNG I think.

- Shields =/= transporting
- Always need an even number of warp nacells
- Earth had to always be a perfect utopia
- I get first crack at all the new female interns.
